This June, ESPN Films will debut the group's most ambitious project to date, O.J.: MADE IN AMERICA. The film had its highly acclaimed world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January and is the first episodic documentary by ESPN Films, starting a new chapter for the 30 FOR 30 brand. Today, ESPN and ABC announce the premiere schedule with "O.J.: Made in America - Part 1" premiering in primetime on ABC at 9 p.m. ET on Saturday, June 11. The full episodic documentary will then air over the course of four days on ESPN as follows:
ESPN schedule: Tuesday, June 14 7 p.m. ET - Re-air of "O.J.: Made in America - Part 1" 9 p.m. ET - Premiere of "O.J.: Made in America - Part 2" Wednesday, June 15 7 p.m. ET - Re-air of "O.J.: Made in America - Part 2" 9 p.m. ET - Premiere of "O.J.: Made in America - Part 3" Friday, June 17 7 p.m. ET - Re-air of "O.J.: Made in America - Part 3" 9 p.m. ET - Premiere of "O.J.: Made in America - Part 4" Saturday, June 18 7 p.m. ET - Re-air of "O.J.: Made in America - Part 4" 9 p.m. ET - Premiere of finale "O.J.: Made in America - Part 5" It is perhaps the defining cultural tale of 20th-century America, one that centers around two of our country's greatest fixations: race and celebrity. Directed by Peabody and Emmy winner Ezra Edelman, "O.J.: Made in America" will explore these themes in tracing a personal journey, from how Orenthal James Simpson first became a football star, to why the country fell in love with him off the field, to his being accused of murdering his ex-wife, his subsequent acquittal and why he is sitting in jail 20 years later for another crime.Image courtesy of ESPN
